John Hawk & Rachael Stanley: Wednesday Haiku, Week #71

Photo by Marvin Smith




disturbed
the deadwood
wriggles      
     John Hawk











an old man surrenders
the coffin accepts
his final offering

       Rachael Stanley












old man's leisure--
this year's tobacco too
becomes smoke

    It looks like some advanced aircraft design for the military.

    Charles ... so true. Wouldn't be the first time we 'borrowed' design for our own purposes, nefarious and otherwise.

    a do-it-yourself ply-wood coffin
    and full-blooms
    -just another haiku moment

    in the plain wood
    coffin board,
    tiny shoot

    not enough room
    in this tiny coffin
    to include my Full Moon

    Through the pinhole
    in the coffin lid,
    full moon,
    unseen
